While the amount is less than the initial $4 million she was awarded in 2019, Cardi B can still choose to pursue the remaining $3.8 million after five years. If Cardi B decides to take that route, Tasha K may be forced to file for bankruptcy again and negotiate another payment plan.

As part of the agreement, Tasha K agreed not to mention Cardi B or her family on any of her platforms, while Cardi B doesn’t have the same restrictions.
During the proceedings, Cardi B’s lawyers alleged that Tasha K was under-declaring her assets.
When she first filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2023, the controversial YouTuber listed her 2021 Chevy Silverado as her most valuable asset. Tasha K also claimed that her net worth was less than $59,000.
Cardi B will be paid from Tasha K’s future earnings, including her husband Cheick Kebe’s company, Yelen Entertainment.

When she took to the stand, Cardi B described how Tasha K’s claims had taken a toll on her marriage and mental health. She said she’d sought therapy and couldn’t fulfill her husband, Offset's, conjugal rights, among many other devastating effects.
